Add item to quote to see pricing

Monarda 'Peter's Purple' is an extraordinary perennial from the mint family, renowned for its radiant, tubular lavender flowers. Towering elegantly at a height of 3 to 4 feet, this hardy plant presents a palatial spectacle of florals, artfully arranged in lush crowns atop sturdy square stems. Aptly borrowed for its name, Peter’s Purple Bee Balm not only enchants with its show-stopping color but also serves as a magnet for beneficial pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Dark green, fragrant leaves add to its allure, while its resilience in combating powdery mildew and a spectrum of soil conditions further testify to its hardiness. Loving a well-drained spot basked in full sun to partial shade, it maintains a modest thirst, needing only a moderate amount of water. Its natural resistance to deer is an added bonus, making it an ideal selection for open landscaping areas. Enliven any garden bed, border or cottage garden with the vibrant charm of Peter's Purple Bee Balm from mid to late summer.
